The most versatile single-pass Carton Press you've ever seen.
This carton has been produced in a single pass using the Edale FL5, 510mm with inline (FDC) Flatbed Die Cutter.
Cold Foil
has been laminated on the FL5 Prime full width to give the effect of more costly Met PET cartons.
Embossing
is added inline on the FDC to give a 3D tactile effect.
Unique Uniprint
Colours are printed using Edales unique Uniprint print head to ensure the best possible quality.
AiiR System
(Autonomous Inking Impression and Registration) on the FL5 gives unparalleled automation and repeatability of quality and print accuracy.
Cast & Cure
has been added to give a finish that adds brand protection and allows the carton to really stand out from other production methods.
Cut, Creased & Stripped
The carton was finally cut, creased and stripped before being discharged onto a conveyor by the FDC 600.
From raw material to finished carton in 1 minute!
